Osipow made his breakthrough in Finnish art world in 1960, and his career has continued for decades. He used to paint with acrylic, but changed to oil paintings.[2] Osipow became first famous with his pop-art paintings.[3] Osipow’s exhibitions in the 1990s revealed his gradual movement away from a pure geometric expression to one more painterly and unrestricted, inspired by the pioneers of modern painting and with extensive samplings from late impressionism, cubism and fauvism.[4]
